Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 91 pages. Cover wornPulitzer Prize-winning novelist Toni Morr ison brings the genius of a master writer to this personal inquir y into the significance of African-Americans in the American lite rary imagination. Her goal, she states at the outset, is to put f orth an argument for extending the study of American literature. .draw a map, so to speak, of a critical geography and use that ma p to open as much space for discovery, intellectual adventure, an d close exploration as did the original charting of the New World --without the mandate for conquest. Author of Beloved, The Bluest Eye, Song of Solomon, and other vivid portrayals of black Americ an experience, Morrison ponders the effect that living in a histo rically racialized society has had on American writing in the nin eteenth and twentieth centuries. She argues that race has become a metaphor, a way of referring to forces, events, and forms of so cial decay, economic division, and human panic. Her compelling po int is that the central characteristics of American literature--i ndividualism, masculinity, the insistence upon innocence coupled to an obsession with figurations of death and hell--are responses to a dark and abiding Africanist presence. Through her investiga tion of black characters, narrative strategies, and idiom in the fiction of white American writers, Morrison provides a daring per spective that is sure to alter conventional notions about America n literature. She considers Willa Cather and the impact of race o n concept and plot; turns to Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville to exam ine the black force that figures so significantly in the literatu re of early America; and discusses the implications of the Africa nist presence at the heart of Huckleberry Finn.A final chapter on Ernest Hemingway is a brilliant exposition of the racial subtext that glimmers beneath the surface plots of his fiction. Written with the artistic vision that has earned her a preeminent place i n modern letters, Playing in the Dark will be avidly read by Morr i. Seller Inventory # 2925u
